Television viewers will find nearly blanket prime-time coverage of a Congressional hearing Thursday on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Media coverage of the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol attack reflected and reinforced differing political realities.

The president, confirming his past comment that he would seek eight years in the White House, said he would run again if his health did not deteriorate.

Millions of Americans were guided through the horror of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by one of three men on television news — Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and Dan Rather.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped President Joe Biden's address to Congress on Wednesday, interrupting the president's near unanimous praise from ABC's panel giving initial reactions to the speech.

In this image from Minneapolis city surveillance video, Minneapolis police are seen attempting to take George Floyd into custody May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, Minn. Floyd’s name is more widely known than Chauvin's, but calling it the “Floyd trial” would wrongly imply that the victim was the one on trial. Most called it the Chauvin trial. CourtTV called it “The Death of George Floyd Murder Trial.” ABC said it was the “Derek Chauvin Trial, 10 Months After George Floyd’s Death.”For some of the specialty networks, the trial offers a rare opportunity to increase viewership, both on the air and online. CBS' website will carry its own coverage, along with that of the network's Minneapolis affiliate, he said.

The low-profile Goldston leaves at a time ABC's flagship newscasts, “World News Tonight” and “Good Morning America," are both leading its rivals in the ratings. Peter Rice, chairman of general entertainment content for ABC parent Walt Disney Co., praised Goldston for his work, particularly during the pandemic and 2020's political upheaval.

The World News Tonight anchor's nightly summary averaged 8.2 million viewers last week, more than any prime-time program on television, the Nielsen company said. ABC's prime-time interview of the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, conducted by Muir and Robin Roberts, reached 5.1 million viewers Sunday. ABC's World News Tonight won the evening news ratings race, averaging 8.2 million viewers, NBC's Nightly News had 6.8 million and the CBS Evening News had 4.9 million. Democratic Convention (Monday), MSNBC, 4.38 million.

Monday represented a key phase in New York City's reopening, with many offices bringing employees back for the first time. Despite the CBS and Fox moves, most news employees continue to work remotely, and the television programs that originate here have a patchwork of approaches that have quickly become familiar. A majority of the show hosts on MSNBC including Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist of Morning Joe work remotely. Other morning shows have varied approaches. Hoda Kotb of NBC's Today show has worked out of that show's Rockefeller Center studio, but most of her colleagues are at home.

HOUSTON, Texas – The mother of Ahmaud Arbery, Wanda Cooper Jones, attended the funeral of George Floyd and attendees who saw her said her presence at the procession was ‘powerful’. Cooper Jones told Muir that she "needed” to go to Houston to show support for Floyd’s family. Cooper Jones also added that the protests and rallies over Floyd’s death has given her some peace in her own son’s slaying. She told Muir that Arbery would be proud of her activism, her presence in Houston and the journey she’d embarked on to get him justice. There are stark differences between the deaths of the two men Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, but each triggered a mass outcry for justice from the public.

Why exactly are credit card issuers handing over cash? "Of course, credit card issuers make a lot of money through interest payments and other fees, as well," Rossman said.
